Open source software development for IMI EMIF

The European Medical Information Framework (EMIF) project is an IMI project, aiming to develop a common information framework of patient-level data that will link up and facilitate access to diverse medical and research data sources. Thereby opening up new ways of research for scientists.

Obesity and dementia are two of the greatest healthcare challenges of our time. To guide the development of the framework, the team will initially focus on two key research issues:

identifying the mechanisms that make some people more susceptible to dementias (such as Alzheimer’s disease) than others;

determining which individuals with obesity are most likely to develop complications such as diabetes.
